1-Objection template.docx

This is an objection form template provided by the Business and Procurement Services department of Dawson Technical Institute, a City Colleges of Chicago institution located at 3901 S. State Street in Chicago, Illinois. The form is designed to allow companies to formally object to Sole Source procurement announcements made by the institution. The template enables objecting parties to challenge proposed awards by asserting their capability to provide equivalent or superior services at a price equal to or below the quoted amount. The form includes fields for the objecting company to provide their name, a contact person's name, phone number, and email address, along with the specific Sole Source number, proposed awardee name, and release date of the announcement being contested.

The objection form provides a structured mechanism for vendors to formally request a hearing to discuss their objections to the sole source procurement decision. Interested parties must complete all required information fields and submit the form to the Business and Procurement Services department at procurementservices@ccc.edu or by phone at (312) 553-2590. This template is used in conjunction with sole source procurements, such as the Heads Start Program Screening Assessments contract opportunity, and serves as a safeguard to ensure competitive considerations are evaluated before sole source awards are finalized.
